MACON, GA, Nov. 3.-Mr Davis and
party left for Beauvoir this morning at 0:l0
O'Clock AT $50 o'clock Mr.. Davis, his
family and attendants left Hill Crest for the

CROWDS ON THE STREETS.
Great crowds of people lined the streets
and waved adieu to Mr. Davis and family.
To all the salutations they smiled and
bowed. A large crowd awaited their ar
rival at the depot. The Volunteers formed
double lines in front of the depot, and Mr..
Davis and party passed through to the
special car in waiting for them. The exte-
Iior decorations of the car had been re-
moved under the idea of allowing Mr.. Davis
to reach the various stations without his
presence being known in order to avoid
any excitement as he was quite feeble this
morning and absolute rest and quiet was
essential. The interior of the sleeper was
deliberately decorated with banners, bunt-
ing, flowers, etc.

Birth of an CIVIL Spirit"
Calcutta Dispatch to the London Tim

Cdtcutd DtSpdtch 10 me London Times.
An extraordinary appeal case has lately
been heard III Madras which puts in evil
dence the active character Of existing super
stitions. It seems that one of the accused in
the original case gave birth in December last
to male child having four eyes, the face of
a money, and crooked arms and legs, whileit
grunted like pig Immediately on its blrth
The midwife placed the child under
trough and sat upon it, both she aud the
mother raising cries OF alarm. The male
prisoners then came and took the child into
a field and killed it by sCriking it on the
head with a club Their explanation was
that the child was an evil spirit, which they
were justified by the custom Of the country
in killing in order to prevent it from doing
evil. The judge acquitted them on the
ground Of a mistake OF TACT. This decis-
ion was necessarily upset on appeal. The
accused believed that unless the child had
been killed it would have grown to an I'M
mense size and devastei the country, and
that they were therefore committing a mer-
itorious action in obviating SO grave pub
lie CALAMITY

ROBERT GARRETTs TROUSERS.
How the Son of lis Father Talked
Trousers to His Tailor.
From tn, Neto York. Sun.


From tn, Nec York. Sun.
Robert Garrett furnished no end of
amusement to the telegraph operators in
his employ, and among large number
who worked in the main Office here and in
Baltimore he enjoyed the distinction of being
dubbed "chump.n He obtained the title,
it is said, in this way: One day he reached
his Baltimore Office in steaming hurry.
1t really looked to insiders as If he had
something of Importance on his hands and
was anxious to get rid of it in hurry. II
was evidently a matter worthy OF mucn
care.
The great man sat down at his desk. He
reached for some paper, dubbed a pen IN an
ink bottle, and squared himself He wrote
for full minute without rest. Then he
sat up, stuck the end Of the penholder
between his teeth and bit it. After chewing
and runinating for five minutes he attacked
the paper again. The pen moved along more
or less smoothly for five minutes. A halt
was called. The great man read what he had
written and tore it up.
Those around him wondered what he was
about. His Office was furnished with
stenoglapher and type writer, but upon
neither of these did tie great man call. de
was evidently engaged upon a matter that
could only be disposed Of by hms II.
He grabbed fresh sheet of paper. He
filed that with straight and curved lines
and tore it up. The Office was becoming
worked up to a high pitch OF excltment.
Another sheet OF paper was tackled.
Slowly AID by jerks it was filled with
writing. The effort was read and read again
by the great man. 1t was apparently salts
factory. He sighed and signed it: then he
handed it to nlinion, who transferred ito
a telegraph operator. There were about 300
words in it, and in its composition the great
dispatch reached the operating room it was
passed around. It's contents were TOO strik
& for the digestion of one man When it
reached the operating room in this city it
was passed around, with the comment:
That's the kind of chump you're working
for
